The Horn by Brian Flynn

The Horn by Brian Flynn

Murder as a fine art, as a pure expression of sadism is almost unknown.

Thus spoke Anthony Bathurst to his friend, Chief Inspector MacMorran, but he will soon come to regret the statement. Julian Skene arrives to ask his assistance in the case of the disappearance of Mark Kenriston. Kenriston walked away after a dinner party on the eve of his marriage and was never seen again. At the time the sound of a hunting horn had been echoing in the night.

Now Kenriston's sister, Juliet, is being terrorised. She is also due to be married - is there someone determined to stop that marriage as well? And as the fear intensifies, the sinister horn begins to sound once more . . .

The Horn was first published in 1934. This new edition features an introduction by Steve Barge.

Flynn, Brian: - Brian Flynn was born in 1885 in Leyton, Essex. He won a scholarship to the City Of London School, and from there went into the civil service. In World War I he served as Special Constable on the Home Front, also teaching Accountancy, Languages, Maths and Elocution to men, women, boys and girls in the evenings, and acting in his spare time. It was a seaside family holiday that inspired Brian Flynn to turn his hand to writing in the mid-twenties. Finding most mystery novels of the time mediocre in the extreme, he decided to compose his own. Edith, the author's wife, encouraged its completion, and after a protracted period finding a publisher, it was eventually released in 1927 by John Hamilton in the UK and Macrae Smith in the U.S. as The Billiard-Room Mystery. The author died in 1958. In all, he wrote and published 54 mysteries, the vast majority featuring the super-sleuth Anthony Bathurst.
